Notes: This swatch shows six horizontal repeats and four vertical repeats. It includes the difficult “k5tog tbl” maneuver, so keep a crochet hook handy! While I wouldn’t necessarily call the wrong side attractive, it’s at least interesting.

Comments: Even though this pattern isn’t reversible, it does have a nice basketwave-y wrong side. The different changes from purl to knit also make it difficult to keep the knit columns looking clean, which is why I have included a detail photo of where that change can be seen more clearly than in the pattern photo.

Comments: Lays flat. I started with the lighter color as the main with the darker color as the accent, but didn’t like it as much. I changed to the dark as main with light as accent & finished it as that combination. I’ve shown both in the first photo, the lighter is at the bottom. You decide! Reverse side is interesting, so could be reversible if desired. Photo of reverse included.
